“

we live and we shall win”, said Chávez dismissed the contact
which lasted less than 10 minutes.

has not been able to curb a series of rumors about the real state of
your health, including reports of local journalists and
aliens that give very specific details about the process of
recovery of Chávez.

opposition generates “fatalistic diagnoses” the health of
Chávez.
